Atlanta Active Adult Builder Sees Increase in Home Sales

As one of Atlanta’s premier active adult builders, it’s no surprise that The Orchards Group has seen strong sales so far this year. But, the hot streak that occurred between January 1 and June 30, 2013 with 43 homes sold in their two communities beat everyone’s expectations! The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm in Cumming sold 26 new homes and The Orchards of East Cherokee, a community in Woodstock, recorded 17 new homes sales. Of special note is The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm, where 187 of the 218 total properties have been sold. “We expect to be sold out by the end of this year,” said Craig Smith, sales associate for the company.

Mitch Block, Director of Sales and Marketing for the Orchards Group, adds that more than 75 percent of the new homes sold have been inventory homes that were already under construction or very near completion. "As the Atlanta real estate market picks up, homeowners are seeing their homes sell quickly, so they need to be able to move into their new home quickly as well,” continues Mitch. “Many homebuyers today do not have the luxury of building a home from the ground up and having the opportunity to customize their home. The Orchards Group understands that, and knows that sometimes modifications need to be made to inventory homes to suit the new homeowner’s needs. We always try to accommodate the requests of the homebuyers to the best of our ability, and we try to compromise with homebuyers who have special requests in order to make their new homes just right for them."

TheOrchards of Brannon Oak Farm features three unique collections of homes that are priced from the $260,000s. The Arbors offers master-on-the-main villas with five different floor plans to choose from. Single-family detached homes that have either ranch or master-on-the-main plans are featured in the Gallery neighborhood, and the Southern Heritage collection consists of ranch condominium plans featuring two or three bedroom designs with an optional activities suite over the garage. The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm also includes amazing amenities like a swimming pool, lawn area, fire pit, barbeque grill and a grand clubhouse that has a large gourmet kitchen, fitness center, gentlemen’s den with fireplace and card and game rooms.

Located in historic Hickory Flat, The Orchards of East Cherokee has two villages with their own unique floor plan mixes priced from the low $200,000s. The Gallery has two to four bedroom single-family homes, and the Southern Heritage collection offers two to three bedroom ranch condominiums. All of the homes at East Cherokee are zero to low maintenance, and the community features a swimming pool, waterfall sitting plaza and barbeque grilling area, as well as a grand clubhouse with fitness center, gourmet kitchen and game and card room.

New Yorker Chooses Smyrna as First Home Location

Recently, one of the many happy Brock Built homeowners, Jacqueline Witherspoon, was interviewed by the Atlanta Journal Constitution for their weekly Homefinder section. In the article, Jacqueline details the process of finding her perfect new place at Brock Built's popular community of Smyrna, Georgia homes, Belmont Chase.

Even though Jacqueline was a first-time buyer at the age of 50, she had always dreaming of owning her own home. However, since she lived in New York where the cost of living is higher for the majority of her life, she had never been able to turn her dreams into a reality. After a change in her family situation and with a little encouragement from her niece, she decided to take her search south.

Her house hunt consisted of a long weekend filled with plenty of showings, but none of the places caught her eye. Finally, at the very last home she saw, she made an instant connection. This home, which is located in Brock Built's Belmont Chase community, had everything she wanted including a master on the main, extra bedrooms upstairs and plenty of square footage.

Since moving into her Atlanta new home in August, she has added her own flair to the home with pieces of art from Africa, lithographs and even the vase from the community's model. In addition, she choose to include the builder's hardwood and granite countertop upgrades.

Belmont Chase is a delightful community in an excellent Cobb County location. With craftsman style homes priced from the low $200,000s, a wide array of floor plans and plenty of design options, buyers can truly create the home they've always imagined.
